It appears like a Minecraft movie could be the next big thing in video game adaptations, and news about it keeps coming in. The 2011 release of the sandbox game Minecraft is renowned for inspiring players’ creativity and has since become the best-selling game of all time. It would be an understatement to say that Minecraft has a huge fan base, so it’s likely that a Minecraft movie might rank among the decade’s top box office receipts provided Warner Bros. makes the proper decisions.
The Minecraft movie first went into production in 2014, and a decade later, a lot has changed — with the movie, the wider entertainment landscape, and with the game itself. While there is no real story that A Minecraft Movie can pull from the game, Minecraft does have its lore that fans latch onto, and that is where things will be important for the movie to get it right. A Minecraft Movie has been a long time coming, but the highly anticipated game adaptation is coming very soon.
